Mask of the night


MASK OF THE NIGHT
by Mary Ryan
When her father is killed in a freak accident, Jenny finds herself with only her grandfather and a portrait of her mother with which to face the new century .
She is alone at Klashane but soon discovers an old mask in the attic and with it a sinister stranger who visits her at night.
Sixty years later when Dee visits her at Klashane home she finds herself fascinated by the big ruined house down the Boreen and the mad man who haunts its grounds. In its ruins she discovers a carnival mask, a gold ring and a faded leather diary telling of the long dead lives. The passion and danger that she discovers through these finds links her not only jenny but to Klashanes past generations and across the seas and time from Venice to London to county cork
